Lillith

I wasn't expecting much from this when I saw it pop up on Tubi, but I figured I would give it a chance anyways. To my surprise it was better than I expected, still not great but better than what I was expecting.

Lillith is about a college girl named Jenna who after catching her boyfriend cheating on her, gets the help of a friend to summon Lillith, a sex demon to exact revenge. Needless to say it doesn't go as planned.

Lillith is for all intents and purposes a c-gtade horror flick. However I give it props for some ok make up effects, and a mostly entertaining story. What makes the movie particularly entertaining is the character of Lilly the Succubus who hams it up pretty well and makes for an entertaining villain. She's really the highlight of the movie with a decent amount of wit and bubbly personality to shine through. For a modern horror film I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.

When a college woman (Nell Kessler) in the New Jersey/Brooklyn area discovers her boyfriend cheating she accepts her Wicca friend's offer to call on a succubus for succor. Havoc ensues.

"Lillith" (2019) is micro-budget horror with limited camera angles, dubious cinematography and, occasionally, lousy sound, but the story is compelling and the acting/dialogue good; some of the music's not bad either. Speaking of the acting, Laurence Fishburne's son, Langston Fishburne, is on hand for the small role of the professor. But it's Savannah Whitten who steals the show as the lust demon made flesh. People call this a horror comedy, but it's really only Whitten's succubus that's amusing (in a good way). It's a refreshing way to approach the material. After all, why wouldn't an immortal demon relish 'her' work with a diabolical sense of humor?

The setting and tone are reminiscent of "Decoys" (2004) and "Decoys 2" (2007) mixed with a little "Jennifer's Body" (2009), albeit without the budget. If you don't mind technical deficiencies, "Lillith" delivers the goods despite a muted palette. For comparison, check out "The Devil's Nightmare," aka "The Devil Walks at Midnight" (1971), which is an entertaining classic flick involving a succubus, taking place in a castle in Belgium (on the border of France).

The film runs 1 hour, 33 minutes, and was shot in the region of Cranford, NJ, and Brooklyn, NY.

GRADE: B-

No pun intended - and a succubus being summoned definitely is not the greatest idea ever. That being said, the movie may be on this side of horror - but your suspension of disbelief has to be there.

A love for B-movie horror is also quite helpful. The succubus of the movie is quite fun too. Well unless you are her target - you may find her less funny. There are some love stories and romances ... and there is an either satisfying end to this or one that almost is ridiculous ... not sure if you should read something into it. Best if you don't - you are not entitled to anything and no one owes you anything either. You'll understand with the ending, if you dare to watch that is.

Amazes me how some reviewers want every film to be a triple oscar winner. If you don't have much to do and want an amusing US comedy horror to watch, its ok.

The beauty of this day and age is that we have the ability to stream online movies. This, makes available thousands of great movies to sit back and enjoy. Unfortunately this is NOT one of those movies. For starters if you want your lady that's just come back from the dead to look as such, you should probably make up the whole body and not just the face.

The acting was to say the least, droll. Venon wells should have no more dialog than he was given in mad max 2 and he wasn't the worst

To be honest, I didn't know this was a horr/com but after watching it, I understand where the comedy come in. It was the movie itself!

I wouldn't bother watching this movie but i'll leave that decision up to you.
